IllinoisBubba, 3 years agoThank you very much AR8Jason for sharing your knowledge! I'll look at your previous postings. Two days ago I had never even heard of a dip pen.

I found this in an old box of mechanical pencils and wasn't sure what to make of it. I don't think there's any gold on this pen due to the typical brass-like tarnish and the lack of any hallmark. The "nib" is also brass.

Now I know it's from around the turn of the previous century and back then would have been a common "DIP" pen.
